If it's meant to be, it will happen. My mentor, Rhonda Shasteen, gave me those words of advice a long time ago. They continue to have new meaning for me the older I get and have more life experiences. I always understood the language, but learning to let go of trying to force things into happening has been a much longer process. Flash back to about fifteen years ...Read More

Like attracts like. That is the Law of Attraction. I must admit that I was the number one skeptic of the power of positive thinking as presented through books like The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. I convinced myself it was a new age, cultish philosophy and that I should steer clear. Over the last couple of months, I had multiple conversations with both friends and acquaintances where the book continued ...Read More

This is one of those ...Read More

I think most of us at some time or another have struggled with negative self-talk. You may have dropped something or bumped into something and called yourself stupid. You've punished yourself for making a mistake or not getting that promotion. I've spent the last year and a half retraining my thought patterns to be more positive and naturally healthy rather than self-deprecating and negative thanks to the teachings ...Read More

When I first learned The Secret a year ago, I was encouraged to begin a daily meditation practice. I had never meditated, so I started with just three minutes a day. I didn't know how to meditate, so I began by taking a suggestion made in The Secret. The book recommends repeating a mantra that goes as follows, "I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, and happy." ...Read More

Have you ever wished you'd made better decisions in a moment? You knew what you wanted to do, second guessed yourself, and did something else, only to regret the decision later? Have you forced yourself to do or eat something out of peer pressure? I know I've done all of those things and more. I've spent plenty of my life living for others. I made most of my ...Read More

It is okay to love yourself. I love myself, finally. It's been a long journey to learn self-love. I'm only now embarking on the journey of self-actualization and leaning fully what loving myself means.

I would get wrapped up in my real problems or self-invented problems or anything else that was created in "the six inches between my ears."
